Taking a Hard Look in the Reality Mirror

  • Summary

  • On previous epsidoes, Mark and Jesse have discussed the importance of scarcity, and how limitations drive creativity. Mark even goes so far as to argue creativity can't exist without limitations! YNAB, then, is a tool for viewing reality through the lens of money -- a reality mirror if you like. By understanding the tradeoffs you are making with your money, you can see the truth of your financial situation. Instead of saying "it must be nice" to... fill in the blank -- make more money, spend less on X, etc -- YNAB helps you undertstand the choices you have made and, eventually, ask you the question "am I ok with this?"

    As Jesse explains, this is the real magic of YNAB: enabling people to look at their money and see future possibilities, to make decisions firmly grounded in reality, and actively shape their life into what they want it to be. It all starts by taking a look in the financial reality mirror.
